It is
important that teeth are cleaned from the time they appear, once a child's
teeth appear they are at risk of tooth decay.
To
clean your baby's teeth, start by initially wrapping piece of gauze around a
finger and rubbing the teeth and gums gently. In this way establish a cleaning
habit early and the baby will become used to it. You don't need to use any toothpaste yet.
The easiest way to clean a baby’s teeth is to sit them on your knee with their
head resting against your chest.
